Bulgarian presidential candidate Iliyana Yotova has addressed several key issues regarding national security and foreign policy. During a visit to Vidin, Yotova emphasized her commitment to addressing poverty and inequality, stating that the next state budget should prioritize the most vulnerable citizens. She also advocated for peaceful negotiations regarding the war in Ukraine, suggesting the European Union should take a more active role.
Regarding regional security, Yotova noted that there are various threats and provocations in the Black Sea. She highlighted a diplomatic breakthrough achieved alongside Romania, which has led to increased recognition of the Black Sea's strategic importance for European and global security in official documents. Yotova maintained that Bulgaria's foreign policy is based on a long-standing strategic choice and aims to avoid radicalization.
Separately, economic experts are debating the implications of the current government's budget approach. Discussions center on the commitment to limiting the budget deficit without aggressive spending cuts, as well as the potential impact of increased social security burdens on the private sector and small businesses.
